I decided to use my Spode Woodland Turkey China in a different tablesetting this week. I got this green tablecloth at Bed, Bath & Beyond and the bronze napkins on clearace at WalMart. The goblets (which I use for all seasons) were a gift from my girls Christmas 2007. I kept the alligator texture chargers and the turkey flatware holders for my touch of whimsy. Instead of the turkey centerpiece I had used since September, I put out a large cornucopia (thank goodness for spell check or it would have had to be a horn of plenty) filled with gourds and fruit.
Here is my latest fall table:
As you can see I have both the dinner and salad plates.
A close-up of the centerpiece:
Notice the arrangement on the little cabinet. I did this with a grocery store bouquet and leaves from my yard.
Now the tables I have shared with you on this blog have only shown my Spode Woodland Turkey plates. I do have a set of "everyday" turkey dinner plates from Churchill China that we use from September through November.
Then I have these salad plates by Johnson Bros. "Autumn Monarch"
And I have a Johnson Bros. Deviled Egg Plate "His Majesty"
With all these turkey plates, I know you are asking, "Which will she use for the actual Thanksgiving dinner meal?" Well, wouldn't you know, we have a family reunion on Thanksgiving every year, so I don't have an official Thanksgiving meal at my house! It is a wonderful Thanksgiving meal and tradition though. This year, as we have for many Thanksgivings, we are going to my cousin's Celebrity Goat Dairy, which has not only goat and a cheese dairy, but a bed and breakfast and inn. It is absolutely wonderful and all of us can't wait!
So from my old Victorian, I am wishing all of you a Happy Turkey Tablescape Thursday! :D Jewel

Ooooo, I LIKE the new green tablecloth very much!
Your turkey plates look really nice, too.
I bought a set at TJMaxx, but had to return them....they weren't flat on the bottom! Can you believe that? They rocked back & forth on my good china. No, NO, NO!! right back they went. :*(
Yours are much prettier, anyway. Maybe I'll hit some sales after the holiday. *sigh*
fondly,

I love all your turkeys! I did treat myself to some Johnson Brothers Turkey salad plates this year -- we'll use them for breakfast and good china for dinner. Your home is so pretty.
So many turkeys to choose from! How to decide?
Have a blessed Thanksgiving.

I have never seen the deviled egg dish before...wow...Love the dishes.
Lovely table! I really like all your turkey plates. I may just have to start looking for some of these. They make a beautiful table.
Okay, I have NO turkey plates, and I serve Thanksgiving dinner to 30 people at my house!! Yours are so pretty, and your table looks beautiful with the "horn of plenty" in the center. I want to know about the little turkey pockets that the flatware is in. Did you make those? They are so cute. laurie
Love all your dishes!!!
Lovely table! Happy Thanksgiving!
Everything looks so pretty on your table...I wish you had a close-up of your silverware pockets - they look cute (made out of felt, maybe?) Thanks for sharing..
Hi Jewel,

Really love seeing your old home and it's finery!
Enjoy the holiday,

The green tablecloth is beautiful. Everything looks so nice. I can't believe all your turkey dishes. I have one big turkey platter and that's it! I also looked up the B&B, what a fun place to spend Thanksgiving!

Love, love, love your Woodland Turkey china! I don't have a single plate with a turkey on it...I'm feeling deprived. LOL
Those little flatware pockets are wonderful...did you make them? I've seen some snowflake ones at Neiman Marcus and have been very tempted. :-) Great centerpiece...and I'm not even going to attempt to spell it...we need spell check for comments, don't we? :-)
